1 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Go * h935 h8798 unto Pharaoh * h6547, and say * h559 h8804 unto him, Thus saith * h559 h8804 the LORD * h3068, Let my people * h5971 go * h7971 h8761, that they may serve * h5647 h8799 me.
2 And if thou refuse * h3986 to let them go * h7971 h8763, behold, I will smite * h5062 h8802 all thy borders * h1366 with frogs * h6854:
3 And the river * h2975 shall bring forth * h8317 frogs * h6854 abundantly * h8317 h8804, which shall go up * h5927 h8804 and come * h935 h8804 into thine house * h1004, and into thy bedchamber * h2315 * h4904, and upon thy bed * h4296, and into the house * h1004 of thy servants * h5650, and upon thy people * h5971, and into thine ovens * h8574, and into thy kneadingtroughs * h4863: kneadingtroughs: or, dough
4 And the frogs * h6854 shall come up * h5927 h8799 both on thee, and upon thy people * h5971, and upon all thy servants * h5650.
5 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Say * h559 h8798 unto Aaron * h175, Stretch forth * h5186 h8798 thine hand * h3027 with thy rod * h4294 over the streams * h5104, over the rivers * h2975, and over the ponds * h98, and cause frogs * h6854 to come up * h5927 h8685 upon the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714.
6 And Aaron * h175 stretched out * h5186 h8799 his hand * h3027 over the waters * h4325 of Egypt * h4714; and the frogs * h6854 came up * h5927 h8799, and covered * h3680 h8762 the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714.
7 And the magicians * h2748 did * h6213 h8799 so with their enchantments * h3909, and brought up * h5927 h8686 frogs * h6854 upon the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714.
8 Then Pharaoh * h6547 called * h7121 h8799 for Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175, and said * h559 h8799, Intreat * h6279 h8685 the LORD * h3068, that he may take away * h5493 h8686 the frogs * h6854 from me, and from my people * h5971; and I will let the people * h5971 go * h7971 h8762, that they may do sacrifice * h2076 h8799 unto the LORD * h3068.
9 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799 unto Pharaoh * h6547, Glory * h6286 h8690 over me: when * h4970 shall I intreat * h6279 h8686 for thee, and for thy servants * h5650, and for thy people * h5971, to destroy * h3772 h8687 the frogs * h6854 from thee and thy houses * h1004, that they may remain * h7604 h8735 in the river * h2975 only? Glory...: or, Have this honour over me, etc when: or, against when to destroy: Heb. to cut off
10 And he said * h559 h8799, To morrow * h4279. And he said * h559 h8799, Be it according to thy word * h1697: that thou mayest know * h3045 h8799 that there is none like unto the LORD * h3068 our God * h430. To morrow: or, Against to morrow
11 And the frogs * h6854 shall depart * h5493 h8804 from thee, and from thy houses * h1004, and from thy servants * h5650, and from thy people * h5971; they shall remain * h7604 h8735 in the river * h2975 only.
12 And Moses * h4872 and Aaron * h175 went out * h3318 h8799 from Pharaoh * h6547: and Moses * h4872 cried * h6817 h8799 unto the LORD * h3068 because of * h1697 the frogs * h6854 which he had brought * h7760 h8804 against Pharaoh * h6547.
13 And the LORD * h3068 did * h6213 h8799 according to the word * h1697 of Moses * h4872; and the frogs * h6854 died * h4191 h8799 out of the houses * h1004, out of the villages * h2691, and out of the fields * h7704.
14 And they gathered them together * h6651 h8799 upon heaps * h2563: and the land * h776 stank * h887 h8799.
15 But when Pharaoh * h6547 saw * h7200 h8799 that there was respite * h7309, he hardened * h3513 h8687 his heart * h3820, and hearkened * h8085 h8804 not unto them; as the LORD * h3068 had said * h1696 h8765.
16 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Say * h559 h8798 unto Aaron * h175, Stretch out * h5186 h8798 thy rod * h4294, and smite * h5221 h8685 the dust * h6083 of the land * h776, that it may become lice * h3654 throughout all the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714.
17 And they did * h6213 h8799 so; for Aaron * h175 stretched out * h5186 h8799 his hand * h3027 with his rod * h4294, and smote * h5221 h8686 the dust * h6083 of the earth * h776, and it became lice * h3654 in man * h120, and in beast * h929; all the dust * h6083 of the land * h776 became lice * h3654 throughout all the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714.
18 And the magicians * h2748 did * h6213 h8799 so with their enchantments * h3909 to bring forth * h3318 h8687 lice * h3654, but they could * h3201 h8804 not: so there were lice * h3654 upon man * h120, and upon beast * h929.
19 Then the magicians * h2748 said * h559 h8799 unto Pharaoh * h6547, This is the finger * h676 of God * h430: and Pharaoh's * h6547 heart * h3820 was hardened * h2388 h8799, and he hearkened * h8085 h8804 not unto them; as the LORD * h3068 had said * h1696 h8765.
20 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, Rise up early * h7925 h8685 in the morning * h1242, and stand * h3320 h8690 before * h6440 Pharaoh * h6547; lo, he cometh forth * h3318 h8802 to the water * h4325; and say * h559 h8804 unto him, Thus saith * h559 h8804 the LORD * h3068, Let my people * h5971 go * h7971 h8761, that they may serve * h5647 h8799 me.
21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people * h5971 go * h7971 h8764, behold, I will send * h7971 h8688 swarms * h6157 of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants * h5650, and upon thy people * h5971, and into thy houses * h1004: and the houses * h1004 of the Egyptians * h4714 shall be full * h4390 h8804 of swarms * h6157 of flies , and also the ground * h127 whereon they are . swarms...: or, a mixture of noisome beasts, etc
22 And I will sever * h6395 h8689 in that day * h3117 the land * h776 of Goshen * h1657, in which my people * h5971 dwell * h5975 h8802, that no * h1115 swarms * h6157 of flies shall be * h1961 h8800 there; to the end * h4616 thou mayest know * h3045 h8799 that I am the LORD * h3068 in the midst * h7130 of the earth * h776.
23 And I will put * h7760 h8804 a division * h6304 between my people * h5971 and thy people * h5971: to morrow * h4279 shall this sign * h226 be. a division: Heb. a redemption to morrow: or, by to morrow
24 And the LORD * h3068 did * h6213 h8799 so; and there came * h935 h8799 a grievous * h3515 swarm * h6157 of flies into the house * h1004 of Pharaoh * h6547, and into his servants * h5650' houses * h1004, and into all the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714: the land * h776 was corrupted * h7843 h8735 by reason * h6440 of the swarm * h6157 of flies . corrupted: or, destroyed
25 And Pharaoh * h6547 called * h7121 h8799 for * h413 Moses * h4872 and for Aaron * h175, and said * h559 h8799, Go * h3212 h8798 ye, sacrifice * h2076 h8798 to your God * h430 in the land * h776.
26 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799, It is not meet * h3559 h8737 so to do * h6213 h8800; for * h2005 we shall sacrifice * h2076 h8799 the abomination * h8441 of the Egyptians * h4714 to the LORD * h3068 our God * h430: lo, shall we sacrifice * h2076 h8799 the abomination * h8441 of the Egyptians * h4714 before their eyes * h5869, and will they not stone * h5619 h8799 us?
27 We will go * h3212 h8799 three * h7969 days * h3117' journey * h1870 into the wilderness * h4057, and sacrifice * h2076 h8804 to the LORD * h3068 our God * h430, as he shall command * h559 h8799 us.
28 And Pharaoh * h6547 said * h559 h8799, I will let you go * h7971 h8762, that ye may sacrifice * h2076 h8804 to the LORD * h3068 your God * h430 in the wilderness * h4057; only ye shall not go * h3212 h8800 very * h7368 h8687 far away * h7368 h8686: intreat * h6279 h8685 for me * h1157.
29 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799, Behold, I go out * h3318 h8802 from thee, and I will intreat * h6279 h8689 the LORD * h3068 that the swarms * h6157 of flies may depart * h5493 h8804 from Pharaoh * h6547, from his servants * h5650, and from his people * h5971, to morrow * h4279: but * h7535 let not Pharaoh * h6547 deal deceitfully * h2048 h8763 any more * h3254 h8686 in not * h1115 letting the people * h5971 go * h7971 h8763 to sacrifice * h2076 h8800 to the LORD * h3068.
30 And Moses * h4872 went out * h3318 h8799 from Pharaoh * h6547, and intreated * h6279 h8799 the LORD * h3068.
31 And the LORD * h3068 did * h6213 h8799 according to the word * h1697 of Moses * h4872; and he removed * h5493 h8686 the swarms * h6157 of flies from Pharaoh * h6547, from his servants * h5650, and from his people * h5971; there remained * h7604 h8738 not one * h259.
32 And Pharaoh * h6547 hardened * h3513 h8686 his heart * h3820 at this time * h6471 also, neither would he let the people * h5971 go * h7971 h8765.
